For the garlic bread base:
1 large baguette or Italian loaf sliced in half lengthwise
4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped or 1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp salt
For the pizza toppings:
1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional toppings: pepperoni sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, onions, or cooked chicken

Prepare the Garlic Bread Base:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Place the bread on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and bake for 5-7 minutes until slightly toasted.
Add the Pizza Toppings:
Remove the bread from the oven and spread a layer of pizza sauce over each half.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.
Add your desired toppings.
Bake the Garlic Bread Pizza:
Return the bread to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a crispier finish, broil on high for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
